An Irish Horse Trade.

The following story was told to clerical
friend in the west of this county by
countryman named Dinny Cooley: "Good-
morrow, Dinny; where did you get the
horse 2" "Well, I'll tell your reverence.
Some time ago / went to the fair of Ross,
not with this horse, but with another horse.
Well, sorra wan said to me, "Dinny, do
you come from the Aist or do you come
from the Wesht?' and when | left the fair
there wasn't wan to say, Dinny, are you
going to the Aist or are you going to the
Wesht p Well, your reverence, | rode
home, and was near Kilnagloss, when L
met man riding along the road forniust
me. Good evening, friend, said he.
Good evening, friend, said 1. Were you
at the fair of Ross p SEE he. 4 was, seq
1. Did you sell p sez he. No. sez [.
Would you sell p sez he. Would you
buy?' SEE 1. Would you make a clane
swop p SEE he; horse, bride and saddle and
all? seq he. Done, SCI l. Well, your
reverence, l got down off av me horse, not
this horse, but the other horse, and the
man got down off av his horse, that's this
horse, not the other horse, aud we swopped
and rode away. But when he had gone
about twenty yards he turned round and
called after me. There niver was a man
from Ross SEE he, but could put his finger
in the eye av man from Kilnagross, SEE
he; and that horse, SEE he, "that | swopped
with you,' SEE he, is blind av an eye,' SEE
he. Well, then, your reverence, l turned
upon him, and 1 called out to him, There
niver was man from Klnagross,' SEE l,
but could put his two fingers in both the
eyes av man from Ross, seq 1; and that
horse that swopped with you, SEE I, is
blind av both his eyes, SEE I. "-Spectator.

Was to be Queen.

The policeman had given his testimony,
which was unqualifedly to the fact of the
old gentleman's intoxication. Then the old
colored servant was called to the stand.
There was mingled expression of indig-
nation and determination on his counte-
nance. He testified fatty, to the surprise
of the court room, that the old man was
sober when he came home. The prose-
cutting attorney proceeded to question:
"You say that Mr. was sober when
he came home ?"
ayes, sir."
"Did he go to bed alone?"
"No, sir"
"Did you put him 20 bed ?"
ayes, sir.
"And he was perfectly sober p
"Yes, SIR
"What did he say when you put him to
bed?"
"He said good night"
Anything else?"

"What was it? Tell us exactly what he
said, every word.
ale said as how l was to wake and call
him early, for he was 10 be queen of the
May"
The court room reared, and in spite of
the old servants very positive testimony,
the accused was convicted and Fl ned.

81 know it isn't right to drink too much.
I'll swear off" said Mr.. Garnet. "But
about letting Margorie have Silas Weld,
why his grandfather and my father they
went to law about three-acre meadow,
and my mother used to say she'd no opinion

Robin; ''all gone to their account"

A year-the old boy said he would fetch
me in a year, if didn't let Silas have
Margorie. Dominic, what's your opinion
of Silas ?"

said Robin. d."
Oh, how wrong he was again. He re-
pented it afterwards in sackcloth and ashes,
but he finished the sentence with
"If I were you, Mr.. Garnet, after what
you have seen, would not tempt Satan"
A week from that day Mr. Garnet sur
prised the temperance lodge by taking the
pledge, and shortly after Margorie and Silas
were married.
SiIas and Margorie were happy, and old
Mr.. Garnet was a temperance man, and
Robin never made confession.

The Official and the Bull.

There was once very important state
official in California, who thought that
everybody knew him, or ought to know him.
He was one day walking through field
when bull addressed him in an undertone
and made for him with his head down and
horns in a position to raise him. He was
a state official, of dignity and political pow
er and natural pomposity, but he ran. He
ran surprisingly well. He ran better than
he ever did for Office, and lie got to the
fence first. He clambered over out of
breath and dignity, and found the owner of
the bull calmly contemplating the scene.
What do you mean, sir? asked the irate
official. What do you mean by having an
Infatuated animal like that roaming over
the fields?
Well, guess the bull has some right in
the field?
Right Right Do you know who am,
sir2 Do you know vino I em SIP
The farmer shook his head.
/, sir, am General--
Why the deuce didn't you tell the bull,
said the farmer.

Rough on the Judge.

I have just heard the following good
story on Chief Justice Becky, says a
writer in the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle:
All who know Judge Bleckly and recall
his long, waving hair and beard will appre-
ciate the story. Judge Becky was on his
way to the Supreme Court one morning
when he was accosted by little street
gamin, with an exceedingly dirty face,
with the customary Shine sir? He was
quite importunate, and the Judge, being
Impressed with the oppressive untidiness OF
the boys face, said: l don't want shine,
but if you go wash your face III give you
dime.
Alright, sir.
Well, let me see you do it.
The boy went over to an artesian n.y.
drant and made his ablution. Returning,
he held opt his hand for the dime.
The Judge said; Well, sir, you've
earned your money; here it is,
The boy said: / don't want your
money, old fellow. you take it and get your
hair cut. Saying which he scampered off.

Here are the prices on each. One price as

again why shouldn't this be the best PLACE to

that most dealers bait you. They can afford
to make a loss on small sale if they catch
